Points clés à retenir
Egypt’s huge, cash-dominated small business economy offers strong opportunities for fintech companies like Paymob, which continue to witness exponential growth in the market. The startup currently has 200,000 local and international merchants using its payment gateways and plans to reach a third of Egypt’s 3 million SMEs in the next few years. That ambition drives its recent partnership with Tamara. Over the past few years, a growing crop of startups and their founders have made growth-focused, strategic expansions beyond Africa to emerging markets elsewhere—particularly the Middle East, Asia, and Latin America. For Paymob, the market opportunity in Saudi Arabia is significant: there are millions of SMEs using relatively few POS terminals and even fewer e-commerce payment gateways. The market gap thus fits its solutions.
